Overview
This course is an opportunity for students who have completed Music 220a and Music 220b to pursue an independent research project in computer music. Students regularly present their research and project progress in weekly seminar-style class meetings. In addition, projects in progress are documented on the web thoroughly.
This is a 4-unit course. It can be taken for 2 or 3 units to accomodate grad students, but everyone is expected to work at the 4-unit level.
Requirements
Students can choose between a research project, a musical/artistic project or a combination of both. Projects require a substantial amount of documentation in the form of a website. The deliverables are:
- Weekly progress reports: in-class and website documentation, in a form of progress report logs (blogs)
- Website with all the detailed descriptions, progress report logs, and all the data so that anyone can be able to reproduce the results
- A final presentation and a demo or performance of the work (at the final concert preferably).
Calendar
NOTE: This may be updated during the quarter.

Grading
The grading criteria will be based on creativity (is it a novel idea or creative solution to a problem?), execution (how well crafted is the project?), presentation (are your deliverables well presented/explained?), and own-goal achievements (did you achieve your own goals that you set out for the project?).
Some Suggestions
- Make sure you document everything you do. It will enable you and others to reproduce it later.
